However, what was meant to be a fleeting escape turns into a nightmare when she learns that the stranger is none other than her husband's older brother! Would Elena be free from the shackles of her marriage? Or would the mysterious stranger make her life a living hell since he seemed to have a personal vendetta against his family?

Chapter One
The emerald-green gown shimmered under the soft glow of the chandelier, pooling elegantly around Kia Everstone as she turned in front of the mirror. A satisfied smile tugged at her lips. Perfect.
Tonight was going to be magical.
She had been looking forward to this ball for weeks-an evening of music, dancing, and pure extravagance. No business talk, no responsibilities, just a night to enjoy herself. It was one of the few times she felt free, away from the expectations that came with being an Everstone.
Adjusting the delicate strap of her dress, she studied her reflection. Her dark brown curls framed her face in soft waves, cascading down her back like silk. The deep green of her gown complemented her complexion, and the diamonds at her ears and wrist sparkled in the dim light of her bedroom. Elegant. Sophisticated. Unapologetically breathtaking.
She grinned. Not bad, Everstone.
For once, she wasn't dressing to impress her father's business associates or maintain the image of the perfect heiress. Tonight was for her.
Her brothers-Leon and Adrien-had already left, rolling their eyes at her excitement but offering reluctant compliments before stepping out. Kia had simply laughed, knowing that despite their teasing, they would be watching over her from a distance.
She didn't mind. She was used to it. Everstone men were protective, and she had long accepted that her brothers would never stop acting like she was the little girl they used to chase around the estate.
But she wasn't a little girl anymore.
Tonight, she wanted to dance, to drink champagne, to lose herself in the glittering world of Monaco's elite without worrying about expectations or consequences. She wanted the kind of night that made her feel alive.
With one last glance in the mirror, she grabbed her clutch and turned toward the door, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor.
Kia Everstone was ready for the night of her life.

The night air was crisp as Kia stepped outside, her heels clicking softly against the stone pavement. The black luxury car waited at the edge of the driveway, the Everstone crest gleaming under the moonlight.
